The Mindful Sword Immortal

At just twenty-three, genius scholar Chen Shen has reached the pinnacle of academic psychology thanks to his hyperthymesia. While climbing Mount Sanqing, he is caught up in a supernatural phenomenon and physically transmigrates to a vast world of cultivation steeped in legends of the primordial age.

Paralyzed in the legs by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, he is targeted and bullied by his classmates as soon as he arrives, then abandoned in the wilderness to die. Fortunately, a little old man who has reached the pinnacle of mortal body cultivation saves him. Chen Shen unexpectedly discovers that he possesses an astonishing soul and has obtained the most primordial source of the Great Dao: two spheres of light, one yin and one yang.

He assumes his extraordinary soul must mean he is heaven’s chosen one and resolves to pursue immortality and attain eternal life. But Chen Shen is found to have no spiritual roots, leaving him unqualified even to serve as a menial in an immortal sect. Instead, the sect deceives him and turns him into cannon fodder for an expedition into a secret realm.

Unexpectedly, his soul far surpasses that of ordinary people, allowing him to survive and even claim the secret realm’s complete inheritance. As he reads the cultivation methods, he suddenly realizes that the psychology that brought him to the academic pinnacle in his previous life is actually an supreme cultivation art. Combined with this world’s cultivation methods, it allows him to develop [the power of the mind], which can be controlled at will through his thoughts.

From then on, Chen Shen uses his hyperthymestic soul as his foundation and psychological theory as his blade, breaking through the shackles of spiritual roots and defying his cannon-fodder fate as he gradually sets out on a path to invincible immortality that belongs to him alone...
